International organizations whose membership and mandate are worldwide, including the United Nations and its General Assembly and Security Council, the World Trade Organization, the World Bank and the International Labour Organization. An organization belongs here when its cited source presents it as global rather than regional. The group sits under the International and Supranational Organizations subcategory of the Political Atlas and helps a reader browse that subcategory by when each one was set up and how wide its membership is. Each member is placed on the strength of the page it cites, so a reader can follow the grouping back to a stated source.
